It’s actually vital because somewhere in the American heartland, the great American west, the south or the east, there’s a kid just like McCain.  He’s not the best at school, and he tends to be scrappy and rule-bending.  His eyes look out on the American landscape and maybe he joins the military because there just aren’t any jobs to be had for a kid that has burned some bridges.  He’s my son or yours or maybe she’s one of our incredible daughters.

 

If this kid’s Commander in Chief is John McCain, what are the odds that McCain won’t order this child into military action?  What is the likelihood that McCain won’t even consider our children’s personalities when he risks their deaths on the battlefield, or issues them an invitation to torturous stay in the Tehran or Tbilisi Travel Lodge?
